   Summary

   Bruce stands with his mouth half-open, unable to answer as Clark towers over him. He wants to fight back, wants to point out all his flaws, wants Clark to understand that this is Bruce’s fault, but he can already see that Clark won’t let him.

   “You’re a good man, Bruce Wayne,” Clark says. “I wish you could see that.”

   Or, Clark dies and comes back to life. Somewhere in between, Bruce falls in love.
